The Knicks open preseason with a 99–84 win over Philly in Abu Dhabi. CP The Fanchise breaks down the game: Mitchell Robinson dominates the glass, Deuce McBride provides a spark, and Karl-Anthony Towns looks sharp. We react to Josh Hart’s back injury and ejection, the importance of wing depth, and how Brogdon, Matthews, and Huck Porty fit into Mike Brown’s new-look rotation. Plus, Knicks fans call in with their hot takes and overreactions.

Highlights:

OG out, Hart hurt → why wing depth matters

Mitch = defensive anchor (16 REB, 3 deflections)

Deuce efficient off bench; Clarkson/Shamet/Brogdon battle for guard minutes

Ball movement + pace: Knicks push tempo in transition

Coach Mike Brown: “We must play even faster”
